InstallAware

Can you import an existing WISE installation setup or do you have to rebuild it? Also, can InstallAware consume Merge Modules?

Dear User,

If your WISE project uses Wise script locic it can be imported using the InstallAware converter tool (Select New Project from IA ide and then Converters).
Alternatively PackageAware or Database Import Wizard could be used.

"PackageAware is an intelligent wizard that captures the changes a setup makes to a system. You may use PackageAware to monitor the results of any installation, and it will create a ready-to-use installation project that can be immediately built in InstallAware. PackageAware provides a very easy way to migrate legacy installations into Windows Installer, and InstallAware."

"The Database Import Wizard opens a Windows Installer setup (MSI file) or merge module (MSM file) database. It inspects the contents of the database, extracts and/or copies files from inside the database and/or source media, and then emits a ready-to-build InstallAware setup, complete with a customizable script. The Database Import Wizard provides a very easy way to import existing Windows Installer databases into InstallAware."

Merge Modules can be added to a project using the "Merge Module" page in the "Project/Development".

Please refer to InstallAware documentation for more detailed informations.
